A point of usefulness that RT always subscribed to: if a part is replaceable, be prepared to replace it. These are tools, use them as that. Even if they're precious to us, they aren't precious in the world. Apropos of what Mr. 2Corgis wrote about roundwounds digging in "slighty".

On the contrary, please do share your thoughts and opinions on anything here, GoG...

Thought you had left the building?

Here's the thing though. If the round wounds are leaving marks in the fingerboard, and you like the way the flats sound and they don't, why risk damaging the fingerboard? I agree that parts can usually be replaced easily, and if it was a Fender I wouldn't think twice, but when's the last time you saw a fretless Pilot neck for sale?

I could I guess, but bear in mind that I only paid $300 for the whole bass!

That would be "Stoner the Moose" (™@ladytexan), and he left along with my ex-wife, which was a great deal!

Congratulations, Sandy. Chiefly for surviving it.

I didn’t seem quite so great at the time, but it was. Worth every penny.
